Frank is a popular Austin restaurant turned legitimate local music venue. Upgrades to the stage and sound system make Frank one of the best small venues in the city that also offers a scaled down late night menu to go with their drink offerings. This Saturday, September 17, Frank will play host to a great showcase that features the baddest Latin DJ collective in the land and a group that Black Joe Lewis himself would approve of.
Austin DJ collective Peligrosa get the party started with their blends and mixes of everything from cumbia, hip hop, moombhaton and salsa. Lead by the multi-talented DJ Orion, Peligrosa’s Latin themed parties and events have become a downtown staple over the past few years. Peligrosa perform at 10:00pm.
Headlining the night’s showcase is Austin’s best known Afrobeat group, Hardproof Afrobeat. You might recognize some of the members from Black Joe Lewis & The Honeybears, but these guys hold their own with Hardproof. They prove Afrobeat is alive and well in the Live Music Capital. Hard Proof’ take the stage at 12:00am.
Listen to music from Hard Proof Afrobeat below.
Frank is located at 407 Colorado Street. Doors open at 9:30pm. Cover is $7. All ages are welcome. Visit the official Facebook event page here and on Do512 here.
